Catch A Husband Cake

 

Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

1 can whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can as your measuring cup)

1 can coconut milk (use the same can to measure)

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For Garnish:

Shredded coconut (for topping)

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a bundt pan or an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Because this cake has a high moisture content, greasing well prevents sticking and ensures clean release.

Step 2: Combine All Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, coconut milk, flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, baking powder, and optional vanilla extract.

Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until the mixture is silky and uniform.

The batter will be thinner than traditional cake batter—this is normal and what creates the signature custard-like texture.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.

During baking, the cake may rise slightly and settle, forming a caramelized top.

Step 4: Cool and Garnish

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.

Carefully transfer to a serving platter or leave it in the dish if using a square pan.

Sprinkle shredded coconut generously over the top while the cake is still warm so it adheres beautifully.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Slice and serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

The texture becomes firmer as it cools, creating a delightful balance between creamy and set.

Serve alone or with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of cinnamon.
